How can I change Font Family in Dev Container?

[hhimanshu]

Hello here

I want to enable two specific use cases - programming, and writing blogs. For programming, I want to keep my default font, but when enabling a dev container that is meant for blog writing, I want to change the font family. Is it possible to do so?

Can I switch to a different font-family when starting a dev container?

Thank you

Thanks for sharing this. Have you tried placing the font you want in the vscode.settings property: https://containers.dev/supporting#visual-studio-code?

Example:

"settings": { 
    "editor.fontFamily": "'Courier New', monospace"
  }
